VPL's Valentine to Victoria

Presentation & Book Signing with Leila Meacham

 

On Feb 6th Leila Meacham visited Victoria for a presentation and book signing of Roses. 

The presentation may be viewed online at Victoria TV15.

With expert storytelling, Leila Meacham pens an epic of three intriguing generations.  A deeply moving love story of struggle and scarifice as well, Roses is steeped with nostalgia for a time when honor and good manner were always the rule.

Spanning the 20th century, the story of Roses takes place in a small East Texas town against the backdrop of the powerful timber and cotton industries, controlled by the scions of the town's founding families.  Cotton tycoon Mary Toliver and timber magnate Percy Warwick should have married but unwisely did not, and now must deal with the deceit, secrets and tragedies of their choice and the loss of what might have been--not just for themselves but for their children and children's children.  With expert, unabashed, big-canvas storytelling.  Roses covers a hundred years, three generations of Texans and the explosive combination of passion for work and longing for love.

 

This program was funded by the Loan Star Libraries Grant.
